lyrics
mountain burns:
as i was driving
alone last night
thought i heard this song
but it can't be right
should have stopped and called you up
from a road side phone
sayin' quick quick turn your radio on
it's my song
turn it on
it's my song
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
the road was empty
there were no cars
the night was cloudy
there were no stars
i had the radio on but i was alone
i was speeding in the dark
maybe i was just wishing
it's my song
turn it on
it's my song
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
where the mountain burns
and the river is on fire
then only then will my lover learn
only then will he learn
my true desire
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
keep you sleep with you:
i'm not asking for much
just a little personal touch
can't help how much i feel
don't stop something that's real to me
yes i know you've always been true to her
one night what would it do to her
one night of infinite passion
a few hours is all that i'm asking
don't say you don't want it too
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you
not trying to get your girlfriend uptight
can't she let you go for just one night
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you
